ARKCPA Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 How do I edit or delete vendor names that I entered in the Bought From field in the additional information page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchettel Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 You can edit that using the Properties editor. Select the item you want to change and then click Properties on the toolbar or Alt+Enter on the keyboard. There is an Additional Information tab on the Stamp Properties screen.

ARKCPA Posted April 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I can not delete a vendor there as it retains all entries including typo errors. You can add corrected vendor names for misspelled items but you can not delete mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchettel Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 That's a bummer that you can't delete a misspelled "Bought From" item. I've not tried deleting like that. Is it possible that the misspelled item is referenced in other stamps and the program just won't let you delete an item that is referenced in other places?

ARKCPA Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I tested the misspelled item reference to other stamps by adding a new stamp and creating a fictitious vendor name. After doing this I could not edit or delete the dummy vendor name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchettel Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Well then, I suppose your only alternative would be to use MS Access to edit the database file after you make a backup copy. It may take a while to find which table it's in but it works. That's what I did to correct misspellings of "Bureau of Engraving and Printing" in the database.

ARKCPA Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 That's beyond my pay grade, should not even have to do that, program has so may flaws and bugs in it. Surprising since the program has been around for so long that it would be perfected by now and only striving for new features and betterments.
